So, it seems that the longer a product development thread runs, the harder and harder feature creep sets in!
"Oh, and this! And this too!"
FINISH YO STUFF! haha

You think it would be compatible with RAM mounts? Give lighting and other accessories more articulation?

Definitely. There's a simple L-Track insert that results in a 1/4" stud to bolt anything to. Another provides a 1/4" socket. I've just given my wife a sad and thorough overview of my L-Track plans for the truck. It was sad yet amazing!

Here's the stud. People use this to secure cabinets, hooks, etc. In cargo vans and trailers.

Good point. I'm going with US Cargo Control through Amazon. They have the best stuff.

To be honest it's not feature creep. In actuality I have other product offers I've been working on but I needed to confirm compatibility and efficiency. The quarter panel mount is one of those things. That lets me scale back some of the things I would have to try and include.

Im looking to get the rear panel ever finished them? I want to put an inverter in it.

Sooooooo, now that the Quarter Panel Mount is done, I can finally finish the D-Pillar Mount with out all of the other disctractions getting in the way. I’m going to change things in a few ways:

* no interior mounting plate, it can go I the QPM
* double sided panel, for the car campers
* disconnects instead of direct wiring, for ground and power

And here...we...go...

DPM updates will be coming shortly. Doing some redesigns based on the QPM. Made some promises to people so I’m gonna finish this.

Joey do you have any designs for the panel faceplate (adapters, USB etc) or will these be buyer supplied choices?

Right now it’s just what I’ve already done. But I’m open to whatever.

Ideal as a FEM for the back of the truck.

That’s what I’m thinking about. Somehow a FEM next to my electrical gear just makes Mud sense!

Glad to see these coming along...going to miss my plywood mount though.
